LSU star forward Angel Reese and boyfriend Cam’Ron Fletcher took advantage of a ten-day gap between the Tigers’ games by booking a trip to New York City. On Saturday, the Bayou Barbie posted pictures of their trip on Instagram, as they joined the millions who flood Manhattan during the holiday season.
On her Instagram story, Reese appeared to be holding up a photo of herself and Fletcher in front of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. Reese also shared a photo in front of Saks on Fifth Avenue and a mirror selfie during their getaway. The trip was a much-needed breather as the season has been turbulent for both Fletcher and Reese, each dealing with their own adversities as athletes.

Fletcher, a forward for Florida State, suffered a knee injury during the Seminoles’ game against North Carolina on December 2. This would be the second consecutive injury to the same knee this season. Meanwhile, Reese was mysteriously suspended for four games earlier this season, months after leading LSU to the NCAA Championship.
Reese’s strange hiatus came after being benched for the second half on November 14 against Kent State. The suspension sparked a back and forth between Reese’s mother, Angel Webb Reese, and teammate Flau’jae Johnson’s mother Kia Brooks. The exchange on social media involved Brooks telling Reese’s mother to take responsibility for her daughter’s actions and jabbed at an apparent 2.0 GPA.

Reese was suspended for four games for an apparent ‘attitude problem’ earlier this season
Former LSU teammate Alexis Morris also chimed in by saying she supported coach Kim Mulkey’s decision. Outkik reported the the suspension was an attempt to fix Reese’s ‘attitude’ problem. Reese returned in LSU’s 82-64 win over Virginia Tech on November 30 and has played every game since. The Tigers are 12-1, having won every game since the opening night loss to Colorado. Reese and Fletcher made their relationship public in August.
